Further thoughts...
I wouldn't get involved too much.
When it comes to political beliefs some people just don't know how to agree to disagree, and they want to fight instead. Like what capo was doing.
Where's the urgency in agreeing to disagree? What does that even
mean?
I don't want to fight, I want to argue; not for the sake of argument, but because I don't believe two differing opinions amount to the same weight in truth.
You say "opinions" make your country so great. But anyone can
have an opinion in
any other country in the world. By your logic, your country is no greater than mine. But I won't give this any further thought, because it's a meaningless buzz-phrase of pissing-contest patriotism, and sadly typed a lot on this board.
I'd argue that the lack of rigour given to people's opinions, including their
own opinions, the bending-over-backward liberalism that smugly declares that everyone is anyone and therefore all of it is the truth, shows a distinct intellectual crisis, and by extension causes my concern for your "great country".
